CHICAGO, Sept. Trading began to day.
with better feeling and more activity than was
witnessed during August Cable advices were
encouraging, and il was said that the Sniiiers
have taken larger blocks of the California mold
ings. A large portion of the business to-day
was the buying of September and the selling OF
October and December wheat against the pur-
chases Mt the current differences There were
more outside orders received but still the ousl
only fair. Stocks of wheat here are
considerably smaller than at this time last year,
aud the visible supply, which Is likely to show
another decrease In Mondays statement will be
about II 600 900 bushels less than last year. On
the whole the situation throuehons the
prices consequently showed some Improvement.
Export clearings from three ports were again

liveres of wheat monthly settlements to-day
were $50. 900 bushels October wheat opened sc
better at 70sc sold at once up to 704c. and after
reaching to 70sc moved on up to Ilc causing

sumed to-day. October closed at TIT D113c; De-
cember wheat sold from 73ic up TO 743c, and
closed on the afternoon board at 748 % 741c.
Corn was governed entirely by local infu-
ences to-day. The deliveries on September were
reported being exceedingly light, and this
created active demand from "shorts' for that
future. which advanced 1c from the opening.
October sympathized with September and
advanced 1c. while May failed to re-
spond to some extent There was
active market from the opening to the close,
although there few outside orders and the
volume of business not unusually large.
October corn opened at Al &c and closed at 425e;
May opened at 454c and closed at 45}c The
volume OF business done in oats much
larger than usual. and on the start oats made
slight squirt in better prices, in sympathy with
wheat and corn, but became tame and sold
lower at the close September sold from 24sc to
24Sc, and closed at "a! 024sc; October sold at
este and 25sc. and closed at PSI 025sc;
May sold at 30!c and closed at
that price. The deliveries of provisions on Sep
ternber contracts were fair, about TO. 900 terces
lard and 1.750. 900 pounds short ribs. There
WAS less pressure to sell, but the demand from
shorts" appeared sufficient to cause an appre-
citation of 23c on lard and 02lc to .071c on short
ribs September and October sh wing the greatest
gain. The range of prices was small, and clos
ing sales were at outside figures. Lard sold at
